Testimonials

As a retailer what we expect from a distributor is quite simple: the right product, at the right price, at the right time, and in the right place. (Sounds easy but not many do it well.) Proper do all that and more: they have a great sales team, good stock control and fantastic customer service - nothing is ever too much trouble. Our favourite distributor by far.

Proper Music Distribution have provided Topic Records with an absolutely excellent distribution service for over twelve years. We have and will continue to recommend Proper as the best distributor by far.

Proper Music Distribution have supported the independent sector more actively than any other distributor for many years now. Their pro-active approach to selling combined with great product and intelligent buying make them stand head and shoulders above the rest. The sales team are supremely knowledgeable and helpful with an energy rarely seen in distribution these days.

I have been dealing with Proper throughout their existence and over the years they have become firmly established as my preferred distributor. Their sales team is always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and their customer service is very efficient. Stock levels are always good and helpful discounts are offered in return for supporting their wide range of releases. Over the years Proper have clearly demonstrated their support for those of us in the independent retail sector and this endorsement is richly deserved.
Long may they flourish.

We have been in the business for 37 years and all we ever wanted was someone to get our product to the right places. It's called distribution and it's what distributors are supposed to do. To say we had mixed results until we moved to Proper is to put it mildly. We were promised all sorts and given all sorts of reasons why various things couldn't happen. Then along came Proper and they delivered – simple, straightforward, professional approach, no fuss, get on with it, you can't beat it!
